On Sunday 29th November 2015, Cherry Lodge Cancer Care held its annual Lights of Love event in The Spires Shopping Centre, Barnet.

An early morning fall of snow on 21st November 2015 was a very apt reminder to all of us to go to St James Church in New Barnet for Cherry Lodge’s annual Christmas Fair. The change of venue proved hugely popular as there was a friendly atmosphere and plenty of space for stalls and activities. People looking ...

The Ionian Clarinet Choir (ICC) celebrated its 45th anniversary in great style on Saturday 7th November 2015, by putting on a special concert at St James church, New Barnet – with proceeds to Cherry Lodge Cancer Care.

The Autumn ‘Flowers and Food’ event, held on Monday 19th October 2015 to raise funds for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care, proved to be a very successful mix.

Everything was truly ‘in the pink’ at Cherry Lodge’s Pink Tombola held at The Spires Shopping Centre, Barnet on Saturday 17th October 2015.
